Storage

Keep refrigerated
Once opened, wrap in waxed or greaseproof paper and keep in the salad drawer. Take out of the fridge 45 minutes to an hour before serving. Eat by the date on the pack.

Can I eat the rind?

Yes. The rind carries most of the walnut flavour. It can be slightly tacky to the touch. That is normal for a washed rind.

Does it contain nuts?

Yes. It contains walnut. It is not suitable for anyone with a nut allergy.

Is it strong-smelling?

Not particularly. Washed-rind cheeses can be pungent, but this one is mild. Expect a light, nutty aroma.

What else would go on a board with it?

Pick contrasting textures and milks. Our Selles-sur-Cher adds a fresh goat’s cheese. Fourme d’Ambert adds a blue. Comté 18 mois adds depth. To drink, Saicho Hojicha Sparkling Tea, whose roasted hazelnut notes echo the walnut.

Finished with Walnut in Machecoul, France

Machecoul lies south of Nantes, near the Atlantic coast, in the old Pays de Retz. The climate is mild and damp, shaped by the ocean. The marshland and meadows stay green for most of the year, and the cows graze outside for much of it.

This is where the Beillevaire family started, as farmers, before Pascal Beillevaire went on to build one of France's best-known cheese houses. They still make their cheeses in Machecoul. The Brun de Noix is one of their own, a western cheese from a dairy that never left home.
